IT feels as if things couldn’t get much worse for LFC fans, results are seemingly showing no signs of improving, Torres is still looking freakishly goal shy and games which should be considered certainties on the fixed odds coupon now appear ‘tricky’!

IT feels as if things couldn’t get much worse for LFC fans, results are seemingly showing no signs of improving, Torres is still looking freakishly goal shy and games which should be considered certainties on the fixed odds coupon now appear ‘tricky’! A dose of undue negativity is evidently present during tough times and can be as equally influential on the fragile minds of fans as surreal optimism during good times.

LFC fans have experienced both within 18 months, it is times like this that following a paradigm of indifference can be beneficial. Of course no-one expected us to lose to Northampton, but every team is allowed a couple of freak results – we now have one left. I believe our attacking play is starting to take shape, we must remember there are players who have been thrust together with little training, but Meireles, Cole, Gerrard and Torres are showing green shoots of recovery. I am most concerned at the back, I am covering my eyes every time a cross comes into the box. This needs sorting now..
